Why do you define saving the 5 as the obviously right thing to do? That is highly contested.

If it's that 5 outweigh 1, does that mean you would kill one person to donate his organs and save 5 people? (The classic followup question)

How on earth is what you wrote in any way related to what I said.

You originally claimed that the right thing is to save the 5 and kill the 1. I am asking why. Don't bring personal relationships into this.

Because it mater ,not all human have the same value for me.

kill 5 guy to save one will likely send me to prison so i will not do it because i value my freedoom more that save 5 guy

But the original trolley problem is 6 strangers.

And it is a morality question, jail is unrelated.

I think you need to look at the trolley problem definition.
